The professional liability of healthcare professionals is a decidedly current issue. In the past decade, litigation for alleged medical malpractice incidents has increased exponentially in Europe. In Italy, the last 20 years have been witness to significant upheavals in this sense. In this article, we analyse the evolution of professional liability legislation in Italy, as well as addressing, in some detail, the changes introduced by Law 189/2012, with which the Italian legislators radically revolutionized the medical liability sector. Particular attention is dedicated to the jurisprudential developments most affected by this reform.

Abstract

The professional liability of healthcare professionals is a decidedly current issue. In the past decade, litigation for alleged medical malpractice incidents has increased exponentially in Europe. In Italy, the last 20 years have been witness to significant upheavals in this sense. In this article, we analyse the evolution of professional liability legislation in Italy, as well as addressing, in some detail, the changes introduced by Law 189/2012, with which the Italian legislators radically revolutionized the medical liability sector. Particular attention is dedicated to the jurisprudential developments most affected by this reform.
